Our Mission

The Mothers’ Bridge of Love (MBL: Charity Registration Number is 1105543.) is a UK registered charity dedicated to reaching out and enriching the lives of Chinese children in all corners of the world – those adopted by Western families, those raised abroad and those living in China.

MBL was founded in 2004 by bestselling author Xinran, based on conversations, correspondences and experiences she had in China and around the world (read more about this below in Our Inspiration). Xinran still oversees MBL operations, supported by a board of Trustees and a team of dedicated volunteers.

As a charity, we believe strongly in developing projects which can help us achieve our mission. Three projects we have supported include: the Support Chinese Children Project, which we have used to help disabled children in China; our Children’s Journal Project, which we plan to sell in more than 27 countries around the world as a cultural and educational tool; and our Art Exhibitions Project, which took place in London. The exhibitions are an opportunity to promote young Chinese talents, Chinese culture in the West, and to create funds for MBL.
